Resumen
This chapter is focused on silver colloidal nanoparticles as antimicrobial and organic nanoparticles, which have been tested for the enamel remineralization process and prevention of microbial adhesion on dental surface. Due to their very small size, 100 nm or smaller, nanoparticles show a large surface area and therefore larger area for oxidation. A discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of nanotechnology in dentistry as well as the future perspective of the nanodentistry is also presented.
